Farewell to Foie Gras: The Food and Drink of Arduise

This is a supplement for the Farewell to Fear Progressive Post Fantasy RPG. But you do NOT need Farewell to Fear to benefit from this book. It has no hard rules in it; it's all setting, story hooks, and recipes. It's good reads, as Alton Brown might say.

Farewell to Foie Gras: Selected Logs in a Traveler’s Discoveries of Food and Drink across Arduise, Grand Culinary Traditions to Salve your Mind, Soul, and Body is a setting supplement for Farewell to Fear. Within its pages, you'll find thirteen recipes for both the fantasy world of Farewell to Fear, and for the real world. It's written in-character, exposing all sorts of interesting factoids and story hooks for your Farewell to Fear campaign, as well as offering real world cooking directions for each recipe.

Highlights include:

Dwarven Fry Coating

Farewell to Foie Gras offers a unique look at a fantasy setting, and tons of ideas for ways to make your rendition of Arduise stand out as something alive and evolving. If you ever wanted to play a traveling chef in a fantasy roleplaying game (and honestly, who hasn't?), we've got you covered. In Farewell to Fear, Chef is an available character class.

Each recipe is delightfully rendered by our resident cartoonist, Max Brooks, to give even more personality to the pieces.

Whimsical and delightful. Imagine, if you will, setting foot in Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind or Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. What kind of cuisine do they eat? How do they make it using a woodburning stove? What kind of things do salt-of-the- [...]

This is a delightful addition to any gamer's culinary collection. My gaming crew and I like to do "in character" meals occasionally, and this fits the bill nicely. The writing style is charming, as are the recipes themselves - "Farewel [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
